where ya been?

some favorites.

Good Saturday morning...

Sausage is sizzling...english muffins are toasting...eggs are about to be fried...homemade mc muffins are a hit around here.

Chris scheduled today a "work on the cars" day...change wiper blades, tighten the bed on Seth's truck (it's loose? what?), possibly change oil.

I don't know about that last one...seeing as how this month is breaking records for most days of temperatures over 90. Come on Fall...I'm waiting on you.

The week's are slipping by...days revolve around getting up early, turning on the coffee maker, hopping in the shower, taking a bit of quiet time before turning on the very loud blender to whip up some smoothies. The mornings are quite structured...it's nice that everyone has to leave at a different time. This way showers are staggered, bathroom time is staggered...it's working out pretty well.

I am still loving my job...so much. I work with amazing people. Honestly. I feel very blessed to have this job. I do wish there were more hours...and benefits, of course. But all in good time...

I am technically off at 11:15...but usually end up staying a bit longer to finish up whatever I had started. Then there's usually an errand or two to run...pick up milk, exchange someone's pants or shoes or something, pay a bill. By the time I get home it's just enough time to grab a bite to eat, get a load of wash started and run the vacuum or wipe down the bathroom before the boys get home from school.

Then there's the flurry of hungry boys making noise (oh, and food) in the kitchen. They are starving after school. Honestly, they are starving all the time.

Speaking of which, I've been making weekly meal plans for the past few weeks. I am always amazed at how helpful it is to make a weekly menu. Matter of fact, I think I'll work on that today.

It's Saturday...and so far we're off to a good start.

All in all...life is good.
